Hello Vlad, you're not a very good Russian disinformation agent are you? So you're going to cherry pick this one event from Ukraine and claim Ukraine doesn't deserve to defend itself from a foreign military aggressor based on this one event? Here are many more instances of Russian war crimes that are far greater in scale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

"Russian forces used chemical weapons 465 times between 24 February 2022 and December 2023" "kidnapped over 121,000 Ukrainian children and deported them to Russia's eastern provinces" "forcibly deported thousands of residents from Ukraine to Russia during the Siege of Mariupol" "In December 2023 Igor Salikov, a colonel of the Russian army and "Wagner" group commander, defected to the Netherlands to testify about "atrocities against civilians" and forced deportation of large groups of children from Ukraine to Belarus." "In March 2022, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights reported 270 cases of arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance of civilians, eight of whom were later found dead." "The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, said Russia made indiscriminate attacks and strikes on civilian assets like houses, hospitals, schools and kindergartens."

And your favorite: "Russia repeatedly violated international humanitarian law with indiscriminate attacks and direct attacks on civilian targets Amnesty said, and verified reports and footage demonstrated numerous strikes on hospitals and schools and the use of inaccurate explosive weapons and banned weapons such as cluster bombs."

These are just the tip of the iceberg.

That is an ad hominem attack, and if you want a response from me, you should try again without the ad hominems.

I don't think many people want a response from you, Vlad.

[–] HomerianSymphony 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You know Vlad is a Ukrainian name too, right?

[–] davidagain 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wouldn't it be great if Ukraine were free from Russian aggression and the Ukrainian people could live again in peace in their own country.

[–] HomerianSymphony 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, and it would also be great if Ukrainian citizens in the Donbas didn't have to worry about being bombed by their own government.

Ha! And you were trying to convince me that you weren't a Putin supporter!? Next thing you'll be claiming he's a leftist!

[–] HomerianSymphony 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Why does that mean I'm a Putin supporter?

Are those the only two sides? Support Putin or support Ukraine indiscriminately bombing its citizens?

It absurd to me that you would look at two and a half years of Russian imperial invasion of Ukraine and seek to paint Ukraine as the aggressor. Nothing makes it more clear that you support Putin than this. It's so obviously counter factual that you're either short of news sources that aren't Kremlin-controlled because you're Russian, or you're for some reason a Putin supporter from elsewhere.

and seek to paint Ukraine as the aggressor

I did not do that.

I'm just pointing out that there are two sides to this conflict.

[–] davidagain 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Rubbish. There's Russian aggression, Putin's trophy war, Russian invasion, Russian false flag operations and repeated Russian imperialist annexation of peaceful neighbours.

[–] HomerianSymphony 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

and repeated Russian imperialist annexation of peaceful neighbours.

Are you calling Ukraine peaceful?

Because this all started with a presidential coup in Ukraine in which at least 26 people were killed, including 10 policemen.

[–] davidagain 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, this all started with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. You're just repeating kremlin lies that no one believes outside Russia.

I get exactly 0% of my information from Russia because I don’t know any Russian.

I get a lot of my information from Wikipedia. Here, have a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_of_Dignity

You know that doesn't follow logically, no?
